Some of our Year 9 Food Technology students mentored them in creating a delicious stir-fry with some super fresh produce!
Great collaboration and creativity from students, big and small!

🎄Our Vinnies Christmas Fair was held on Tuesday at lunchtime! 🎄 Students and staff were able to purchase a sausage sizzle or some baked goods, participate in Christmas activities and sing along to Christmas songs - all prepared and performed by our students! All proceeds will go to the Vinnies Richmond Conference, which will help those people in our Hawkesbury community who will be doing it tough this Christmas. Thank you also to everyone who donated items for our Vinnies Christmas Appeal! "Whatever you do to the least of my brothers and sisters, you do to me" Mt 25:45.

On Friday, a team of priests and seminarians from Parramatta and Broken Bay Dioceses visited Bede Polding to play a game of basketball against a team of Senior students. In a hard-fought contest, the Seminarians emerged 19-15 victors against the 'Peacemakers'. It was a great opportunity for competition and camaraderie, and an opportunity for students to interact with priests and seminarians in a new context. We look forward to more games like this in the future!

On Monday, our Year 12 Agriculture class visited Family Fresh Farms at Peats Ridge to view the operations of a state-of-the-art glasshouse cucumber growing facility. The facility has a total of five hectares under glasshouses and they distribute ‘Cukes Baby Cucumbers’ to the major retail supermarket chains, producing 13.6 million punnets a year from two hot houses! The students will use the information learned on this visit to cover important syllabus content. We would like to thank Family Fresh Farms for allowing us to visit the facility and for explaining the operations and logistics of the business. Their time and effort are greatly appreciated by the Bede Polding College community.

On Saturday, one of our lambs was showing some signs of illness so we quickly transported him to the Vineyard Vet to see Dr Luke Smith. Bede Polding Agriculture systematically vaccinates and drenches our sheep for worms, however, the worms can develop some resistance to the drenches so they must be alternated to lower the risk to the animals. The animal records show that they were last treated on the 24th of September but the lamb was showing signs of lethargy and a swollen or 'bottle jaw'. Dr Luke treated the lamb for worms and also gave him a temporary iron supplement to aid the recovery. All the other sheep at Bede Polding were also treated on Saturday as a precautionary measure. We would like to thank Dr Luke and the Vineyard Vet clinic for the prompt and professional help that they always provide to us and to our ex-student, Chloe Oxley, who checks the animals each and every weekend to ensure their health and safety.
